Tracy Reifkind's Training Food and Thought

Overweight since childhood,I spent most of my 30's tipping the scales around 250lbs. At age 41 I took charge of feeding myself by preparing all of my own meals, no more fast foods! I created a way to use my love of cooking, food, and eating to permanently lose over 100lbs. During this time I discovered kettlebells and my own style of training The Kettlebell Swing, bringing out my inner athlete and erasing all signs of former lifelong obesity. It's never too late, YOU CAN DO IT!

100 swing warm up...or once, twice, three times a workout?

Keeping it real in Croatia! Before dinner on Monday night, just up from a nap I had to do some kind of workout! Here is 4 sets of swings I've been using, pretty much, as a typical warm up to a longer workout. Days before I left for this trip I had done a workout repeating only the last set of this warm up making it into an entire workout by changing up the rest intervals. Here is the first part, a quick warm up to practice until the real workout comes in a couple of days;

10 2 hand swing (15 sec/15 sec)
10 2 hd swings + 10 tr (20 reps 30 sec/30 sec)
10 2 hd swings + 10 transfer swings + 5/5 one had sw (30 reps 45 sec/45 sec
10 2 hd swings + 10 transfer sw + 5/5 one hd sw + 10 2 hd sw (40 reps 1 min/1 min)

100 swings 5 min

You can practice this once, twice, three times and get a nice little workout done, and when I post the rest of it you'll be ready for more! Of course I changed the workout a bit from this video to the next! I can't help myself, it's so much fun!
